Some Substitutions for Your Perfect Korean Lettuce Wraps With Chicken

Recipes aren’t one-size-fits-all, so here are some substitutions/suggestions for you to make the perfect recipe!

  • Don't have any chicken breasts on hand? Feel free to substitute for ground chicken, turkey or boneless/skinless chicken thighs.
  • Not a fan of greek yogurt? Swap it out for sour cream!
  • As you can see by the pictures, I love this recipe with pickled jalapeños. It adds the perfect vinegar taste!
  • Not a fan of the whole wrap idea? You can easily turn this into a salad using the same ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage

If you have leftovers or looking to meal prep this for the week ahead, keep your chicken & veggies separate, along with your sauce in its own container. Pop this in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy. 

Pairing

If we’re keeping it light, I would pair your Korean Lettuce Wraps with fresh rice paper wrap spring rolls. You can also pair this with a simple cucumber salad or an Asian coleslaw. 

Shelf Live

Your Korean Lettuce Wraps should be good for up to 5 days in the fridge (assuming you’re keeping your ingredients separate).

My Kitchen Rules to Live By

  • In the words of Bethany Frankel, if you don't love it you don't like it. Find recipes you love, or they're not worth making.
  • Every recipe is really a suggestion; don't be afraid to change something to make it something you love.
  • If you're starting out, don't be afraid to try. The best chefs also had to start with a first dish.
  • Every recipe is best served shared. Find the recipes you love, and share it with those you love.
